Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) opportunity titled "BLM NV Winnemucca District Office Spring Inventories in Sage grouse Population Management Units Project" (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00237) is a discretionary cooperative agreement focused on improving the quality and availability of monitoring data used to guide long-term conservation and management of greater sage-grouse habitat in the Winnemucca District of Nevada. The central purpose is to support planning, restoration, and protection actions by developing a clearer, on-the-ground understanding of key water-associated habitat features, especially springs and meadows that occur within sage-grouse population management units. By partnering with an external recipient, BLM aims to expand its capacity to identify where these habitats are located, document their condition, and flag any issues that may be affecting habitat functionality or ecological health.
The project work is centered on field inventories and subsequent data handling. Core activities include locating springs and meadow systems within sage-grouse habitat, evaluating and identifying problems associated with those sites, and then collecting, analyzing, and entering the resulting information into a database so it can be used consistently across planning and management efforts. While the announcement summary does not list specific protocols, the described scope clearly points to applied natural resource monitoring: mapping or verifying site locations, documenting conditions and impacts, and producing structured datasets that can be directly incorporated into BLM decision-making. The intended outcome is not just a one-time report, but usable monitoring information that feeds into longer-term habitat restoration prioritization, protection strategies, and broader sage-grouse conservation planning.
Funding for the opportunity is listed with an estimated total funding amount of $200,000, with an award ceiling of $40,000 and an award floor of $0, and BLM anticipates making one award. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which can lower barriers for applicants that may not have access to non-federal match. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA program number is 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management), signaling that the work is aligned with federal conservation resource management objectives rather than construction or infrastructure development.
Eligibility is broad and includes many organization types that could competently conduct field inventories and data management, such as public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) entities), federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations, state and local governments (county, city/township, and special districts), public housing/Indian housing authorities, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. Because it is a cooperative agreement, applicants should generally expect substantial involvement or collaboration by BLM during performance, which commonly means coordination on methods, priorities, data standards, and deliverables to ensure the information integrates cleanly into BLM systems and supports BLM management needs.
Key dates show the announcement was posted and created on August 22, 2011, with an application closing date of September 1, 2011, and an archive date of October 1, 2011. Although these dates indicate the opportunity is historical/archived, the summary still provides a clear picture of the project structure: a targeted field monitoring and inventory effort designed to improve habitat-related datasets for sage-grouse management in the Winnemucca District. For applicants that were pursuing the full requirements at the time, the notice directs users to the "APPLICATION" tab in the full announcement package for complete instructions and required forms.
